'sweil hast thou sung of living men and dead,
OF fair deeds done and far lands visited.
Sing now of things more marvellous than these:
OF fruits ungathered upon -ondrous trees,
OF songs urIsung, Of gracious words unsaid,
OF that dim shore where mans foot may
tread,
Of strangest skies ard unbchoiden seasi
Full many a golden web our longings spin,
And days fair and sleep is oversweet;
Eat passing sweet these moments rare and

Makes quick the pulses with tumultotis beat
For meadows Ia yer won or wandered in"

Venezuela, in company with party of
American engineers, who we're con-

eminent of that country. We were fol-
lowing down a tributary of the great
River Orinoco, and rested one Sunday
at little Indian village on the bank Of
The stream. During the afternoon, as
we were all lying asleep IN our ham
mOcks, there came a terrible screaming
and crying from the village, ana we ran
to see what was up.
1T seemed that several boys had been
bathing in the river just below the vii
lage, when all at once, without the
slightest Narning, one of them had been
seized and drawn under the III bid

wire, bound these to strong ropes of
equal length, and connected the other
ends with the little test battery that we
carried.
when all was ready we foated our
bait, upheld by two inflated bladders,
near where the poor boy hads been
seized, and crouched in the BULBS to
await developments. We had waited in
silence for more than an hour, and
were about ready to give it up, when
there came ripple in the water. and a
huge head with horrid open jaws was
cautiously lifted. Then the Jaws closed

came deep, muttied explosion, tor
rent OF blOod-stained water was thrown
high in the air, and mingled with it
were fragments of the scaly hide OF the

square had b. en- blown.

SONS of lOve-the divinity of the soul

the man who lived them; but by
the same principle, we assert the
divinity of that love everywhere-the
divinity of all the souls that feel it, and
of all the lips that speak it, and OF all
the men who live it. This is the larger
theology-that God is love, and lived in
the loving Jesus, and lives in all love.

each other. The narrow doctrine that
the divine incarnation was in Jesus
alone has made the church unjust to
the heather and heretics who refused
his name, and has made that Christmas

that this incarnation is in all who love,

Christmas all the year round.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.
Statistics of the Production OF
Minerals in 1886.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 25.-The United
States Geological survey, Maj. j. W..
Powell, director, has issued the statis-
tics of the production of minerals dur
ing 1856. The report gives primarily
the production and value OF every prom
inent mineral substance mined in the
United States, and in addition COM
pact statement of prices, sources
of supply and the technical
matters which proved important
during the year. 1t appears that the
total value of the mineral products.
taken as nearly as possible at the points
of production, was more than S465, 000,-
600, the largest mineral production yet
recorded in tine country. In 1855 the
value was about 1929, 100000. Many
substances shared in this increase,
but particularly iron and steel, which
alone showed an increase of S30,000,0 600.
In 1885 bituminouS coal was the most
valuable mineral product, but in 1886 it
was passed by pig iron. which had
higher total value than silver and gold
combined. Wonderful progress is
shown in the use of natural gas. the
consumption being more than double
that of 1885, and twenty times that of
1888. 1t is estimated that the value of
the coal displaced by natural gas in 1886
was more than $9.S00,000. This is
slightly less than half the value Of pc
trOleum.

variety. In the pretty Unitarian church,
at the corner of Eighth and Mary Place,
the sole attempt at ORR mentation was
confined to two pretty pieces of lettering
''Peace" and "Unity," the latter being
placed over the pulpit.
Gethsemane EpiscopaD. like st.
Marks, was profuSely wreathed in ever
green's: indeed. this seems to be the
most popular style here of identifying
churches. Westminster church was
not decorated. nor were the Baptist
churches or the Centenary Methodist.
THE NINE CATHOLIC CHURCHES
in Minneapolis were decorated most
handsomely for the Christmas services.
Mass was celebrated the same as on
other Sundays, only the mass beginning
at 1920 was of more than usual interest,
eloquent sermons being preached at
each church. The church of the Immac-
ulate conception was decorated most
handsomely, as usual. The two pillars
between which the pulpit stands, were
wound with ropes of evergreen and
SmilaX, the same as the pillars behind
the chancei rail. Drapery of evergreen,
smilaX and ivy hung from the pillars.
presenting fine appearance. WreatheS
of green adorned the neWelS of the pill
lars, and were hung around on the
affairs in graceful prOfusi0n. The three
altars-the altar of the Blessed Virgin
at the left, of st. Joseph at the right
and the high altar in the center-were
adorned with natural and cut flowers to
such an extent that the candles were
almost invisible. Rev. Father Kane, of
the Catholic seminary, preached an in
furnished the music. The singing was
excellent.
The Church of st. Anthony of Padua
was beautifully decorated with ever
greens, and the main and side affairs
with natural flowers and foliage plants
in great prOfuSion. The back of the
main altar was draped in white satin,
gracefully Topped over the doors, with
large spray of flowers holding it in
place. The altar was draped in cream
lace and covered with myriadS of can
dies, which peeped out from every con-
ceivable space and gave it the appear
ance of a veritable little paradise. The
banners of the various societies were
hung in different parts of the church.
the members of which attended in q
body, and presented very fine appear
ance.
The Church of Our Lady of Lourdes
was not behind in her decorations to
commemorate the great festival of the
day. Natural flowers of every descrip-
ton adorned the several affairs, and at
the left of the main altar smaller one
was constructed, at the foot of which
was little crib containing small
figure representing the infant Christ in
the manager.
At the Holy Rosary church the dee
orat!onS were numerous and pretty, and
considerable artistic skill was displayed
in arranging the natural and cut flowers
which adorned the altar. The decOra-
tons at the churches of St. Lawrence,
st. Joseph. st. BOniface, st. ChlOtilde,
st. Rose and the others consisted mainly
of evergreen and natural flowers. The
decorating was all done by the young
ladies connected with the various
churches, and was done in a careful and
tasty manner

IN NEW YORK.
The Poor Well Remembered by
the CharitabIy Inclined.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The weather
to-day was all that could be desired, be-
ing keen, bracing and clear throughout.
In all the Episcopal and Roman Catholic
churches Of this city and Brooklyn
special services were held to-day,a feat
ure of nearly all the observances being
the musical programme. The PIG i'm
migrants who CHANGED to be in waiting
at Castle Garden were treated to a
Christmas dinner by the commissioners
of immigration. and the German and
English immigrants were respectively
welcomed at the German immigrant
house and the Cornish Arms (by the
English immigration society. At
Cooper union the Manhattan Temper
ance association turned its Christmas
services into the form of a jubilee over
the recent decision of the United States
supreme court in favor of the Kansas
prOhibitiOnists. In various halls and
private residences the poor of all classes
and ages were cheered by hearty din
nerS provided by charitably inclined
gentlemen and ladies. The inmates of
the city and county charitable institu-
tons in Brooklyn were served with a
plentiful dinner, and Uncle Sans boys
at the navy yard came in for share of
the good things of the occasion. The
streets of both cities were more than Or
dinarily thrOnged. Tomorrow also will
be close holiday, thus rather diSprOv-
ing the adage that Christmas comes but
once q YEAR.
